Arsenic and Old Lace presented by Springhouse Theatre

Friday, February 23, 2018 7:30 PM

Crouse, and turned Arsenic and Old Lace into a farcical black comedy. Our tale follows the misadventures of Mortimer Brewster, a drama critic who must deal with his crazy family which includes two spinster aunts who have taken to murdering lonely old men by poisoning them with a glass of home-made elderberry wine laced with arsenic, strychnine, and "just a pinch" of cyanide. There is one brother who believes he is Theodore Roosevelt, and another, more nefarious brother, who has received plastic surgery to conceal his identity, and now looks like horror-film actor Boris Karloff. (That role was originally played on Broadway by Karloff, himself.) Put them all together in one house, and hijinks ensue!
